Whether you’re looking for a gentle ride through the forest or fast-flowing berms, jumps and technical descents, Waitangi Mountain Bike Park has a trail to suit. Its extensive network includes more than 50km of professionally designed tracks, ranging from Grade 2 easy trails through to Grade 5 advanced terrain.

Families and newer riders can build confidence on the easier trails, while experienced mountain bikers can tackle cross-country routes, downhill runs and the purpose-built Pekenui Jump & Skills Park. Along the way, riders can enjoy native forest, elevated coastal views and a landscape rich in cultural and historical significance.

Don’t have a bike with you? Paihia Mountain Bikes operates from the park entrance, offering kids’ bikes, full-suspension mountain bikes and e-bikes, along with helmets, trail maps and local advice. Pikiniki Café is also located at the entrance, providing a welcome place to refuel after your ride.

The park is community-created and maintained, and riders are encouraged to register and make a small day or annual donation to help fund trail maintenance and park operations.
